... a particularly crimson stretch of Islam's bloody border... 's Adamawa state, police told AFP on Wednesday. State police front man Othman Abubakar said farmers from the Christian Bachama ethnic group stormed four settlements of Moslem Fulani herders in Numan district on Monday, hacking residents and burning homes. "We have so far recovered 30 bodies from the affected villages but the toll is not conclusive as rescue teams are still combing the bushes in the area for more bodies," he said. A man-hunt had been launched for the assailants, he added. "The deputy governor visited the villages and an investigation has commenced to unravel the cause of the attack and bring the perpetrators to justice," he said. Posted by: Fred 2017-11-23 |
